  • Insert content here...

Classification

Keywords for classification, which can be overlapped

  • By Structure
    • Tyrosine recombinase
    • Serine recombinase
    • Large Serine recombinase
  • By Function
    • Integrase
    • Excisionase
    • Invertase
    • Resolvase

    • Integron

Methods

  • Discovering new site-specific recombinase
  • Characterizing protein domains
    • DNA binding domain
    • Catalytic domain
  • Finding the target-site
    • Minimal specific sequence for targeting
  • Looking into recombination mechanism
    • DNA topologies
    • Protein-DNA interaction
    • Chronology of events
    • Chemistry at active site
  • Evaluating Efficiency
    • Recombination yield
    • Specificity


questions/notes

  • play with bacteriophage and microbial genome database, look for recombinase genes
  • look at Tn4451 mechanism for boosting up integration, Lyras and Rood 2000
